  • "Our third stay at this lovely house and we have thoroughly enjoyed every one of this."

    A comfortable, well equipped, clean, welcoming house in a fantastic location that suits us down to the ground. My wife is disabled and this house perfectly caters for her needs.

  • "The cottage was everything we hoped it would be by the photos, and more besides."

    Since I have started to take Dad away, this is the best property we have stayed in. To say the A1 is very close and if the patio doors are open you can hear the drone of traffic, but that does not affect the peacefulness and calm of the place. Such a welcoming and very relaxing property. Thank you for a great stay.

    Ireby House is set in a very quiet location, about 3 miles from Morpeth. It was spotlessly clean and had the 'wow' factor upon entry. It was well equipped, warm and comfortable. We could not fault it. A very enjoyable week!!! We would recommend.

  • "Our stay at Ireby House was perfect in every way."

    We highly recommend this place. The house is light, airy and spacious. There is nothing to fault or improve on. In fact, the images don't do the place justice. We were very comfortable and warm during a cold and wet February break. Our labrador also loved the enclosed back garden, even in the rain! There are fabulous country views from the rear, yet the location is brilliant for quick and easy access to many places of interest, including the coast. The house is exceptionally well equipped; the owners have thought of everything. The soft, luxurious and very large towels, were most welcome: this may seem trivial, but in our experience, some 4/5* places offer thin towels well past their date! Rustling up a meal, and then relaxing was a breeze at Ireby House. The owner, Sarah, goes above and beyond to ensure guests have a great experience, and this was much appreciated. Should we return to the area, we'll definitely return to Ireby House. Angela

    Thank you we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

Our group included a one-year-old, and all the baby equipment she needed was provided. Lovely welcome pack to greet us so we could have tea and biscuits whilst we awaited our Sainsbury's delivery! Small amount of road noise from the A1, but we only noticed it because we live in a rural location, which is very quiet.

    The furnishings were all of exceptional quality and extremely comfortable. The setting was beautiful with wonderful views from the large lounge and sitting area and it was a joy to sit out in the pretty garden at the table listening to the birdsong and soaking up the last rays of the sun looking out over green rolling fields. There was everything you could possible want in the kitchen, every amenity and utensil you could conceivably require. The owners were around if you needed them and even solved a TV issue (after a minor power outage which disturbed the settings) with great speed (thankfully as it was World Cup semi final!) Simply cannot recommend this property enough.
